The homless are in support of him. Mehn those guys are much.

And some people see Donald as the real deal while Clinton as the camouflage.
They see trump as the brand while Clinton as commodity. Because of what happened in Afghanistan during her tenure.

The simple reason why trump won't win is simple... Americans votes don't count and the collage who's votes matters (about 400 of them) dont like trump both from his party and the opposition so how can he win....
We may win the population vote, but will lose the collage vote

There are 538 of them. But you are missing the point. Electors in the electoral college don't just decide on a whim who to vote for. Some are compelled to vote for their parties; others are compelled to vote for the candidate with the highest majority from their state or constituency. As the Republican party finally rallied around the Donald during the RNC, there is greater likelihood he is gradually being accepted. And remember, if he wins the popular vote by a large margin and doesn't get the presidency because of the Electoral college, all hell will break loose on the streets. You only need revisit the Al Gore - George Bush debacle, if you want a taste of how this might go down.

mazichika:
what damn shiit is this 538 electoral collage all about?

So after the citizens might have elected their preferred leader these guys will still go ahead and vote?
Pls enlighten me on this.

mrvitalis:

With the bush and Clinton family against him... I don't see him winning collage vote
And there is no how he would win popular vote by a very large margin... That's if he wins at all

The 538 electors are there to make sure victory won't be only about numbers. From the start, the US lawmakers felt it wasn't wise to leave the decision on who becomes president to who gets the highest numbers at the polls. This may not sound truly democratic today, but at that time no one really trusted a completely democratic experiment where the numbers win. Even the UK kept its Queen for more or less the same reasons.

The 538 electors are elected by the people and in turn, these electors will also vote on who should be president. In order to win the US presidency, a candidate must get the majority of the electoral votes. Some electors are mandated to vote for the candidate with the highest popular vote in the constituency, so that it really doesn't matter anyways. Some also vote for their party candidates, who might very well have won the majority already in the elector's state. So, when people vote in their states, they are actually voting electors.

Take for instance, let's say in a typical Republican state like Texas, the people go to vote. A lot of republicans vote for Trump, as might be expected, and let's say Trump gets 380,000 votes (example!) against Clinton's 100,000. Those republican votes will elect 38 electors from Texas who can then go on to vote for the president. Now, Trump will still have 380,000 popular votes counted for him. The 38 electors, who are all republicans, might then be bound by party laws or could in principle just go ahead and vote for Trump. Remember, if they were not Republicans, they wouldn't even be electors in the first place. Many states have laws designed to ensure that electors vote for pledged candidates, though electors can still decide not to obey these laws. That rarely happens. That could be like Theresa May suddenly going back on Brexit. Get?

This is also close to how their primaries work. That's why there was all the talk about conventions, presumptive nominee and then confirmed nominee.

Would it surprise me if the Donald won? Absolutely no!

Exactly. And the minorities who don't support Trump are actually....in the minority.
I guess you meant Libya, not Afghanistan.

Words like below cannot come from a Future POTUS:

“I will build a great wall – and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me – and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.”

“All of the women on The Apprentice flirted with me – consciously or unconsciously. That’s to be expected.”
